DIRTY COWBOY
BY ERIN TREJO
I was at the top of my game. I knew who I was and what direction my life
was headed. I owned the most prestigious night clubs down the east coast yet I
kept my identity a secret. I don’t like being in the lime light and my hometown
was none of anyone’s business. However, making people happy was. I did that
with my clubs. Until the day tragedy struck my family. I had a choice to make
and it wasn’t an easy one.

and it wasn’t an easy one.
At the end of the day, family always comes first. I went home to take
care of my mom and the ranch. I didn’t plan on that little smart mouth Cassidy
Birch showing up with a laptop in hand. Just out of a cheating relationship the
girl was hell bent on hating all men. Me included. Hating me wasn’t the only
thing she came back home for. She needed a quiet place to write her next
article. Her interest? The man that suddenly closed down all the upscale clubs
on the east coast.

I wanted to be anonymous for a reason. I didn’t want the cameras and all
the tabloids in mine or my family’s business. So, I don’t give her anything.

A breach of silence.
A heart fueled by vengeance.

prison, but he will make sure this time, he will be the last one to strike.

found new friends along with the perfect job. That is until the owner shows up
and tips the balance of her life in a frustrating, and eventually dangerous

With every heartbeat Eddie gets closer to unraveling a
secret that took lives, and in the end will risk the woman who touched his
heart. Life is full of surprises and unknowingly crossed paths, but emotions
and vengeance are bound to collide into a deadly explosion. Will Eddie be the
one coming out on the losing side again or is he willing to give up the one
thing he wants more than his next breath? Vengeance or love? Justice or death?
In the end, the choice might not be his.
